The goal for this KNOPPIX application:
I need to run ECS when knoppix logs in the "knoppix" user
(which it does *automatically* at bootup).
The ECS cfg will then run a JAVA pgm after init.
There is *no* browser access.
btw, I don't know if I need to start a bash session to run a JAVA pgm.

In trying to empirically determine where to place the commands
(a perpetual problem), I created the following files with contents following:
         /home/mark/.bashrc
                 echo x > bashrc.tmp
                 edm.bin
         /home/mark/.bash_profile
                 echo x > bash_profile.tmp
                 edm.bin
         /home/mark/.profile
                 echo x > profile.tmp
                 edm.bin
When I logged in, only bashrc and bash_profile were executed
(as their .tmp files were created).
edm.bin was *not* run by any (but perhaps I need to start a bash session 
1st ??).
I also note that my command prompt was changed to "bash-2.05b$" (??).

Any ideas ?

Thanks,

Mark Gilmore
